The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

The morning of my departure for the realm of demons.

I was carrying the luggage I would take with me on my expedition in front of my dormitory at the training center.

"Is this everything, Usato-kun?"

"Thank you, sir. I am sorry for making you help me so early in the morning.

When I thanked Uluru for helping me with the luggage, she waved her hand to the side with a wry smile.

"Hehehe, it's okay, it's okay. It's you who has to do the hard work, so I have to do my part, too!　You're doing a great job, Keira-chan!

"No, no, no. ......"

Keira turns her head shyly as she is patted on the head.

Uluru's reaction makes her smile even more.

"Usato-kun. I always wanted a sister.

"Olga-san will cry."

"I'm going to have a sister-in-law soon, and I think it's a good time to have a sister-in-law too."

"What are you talking about with a straight face?"

I'm not trying to make a sister-in-law as a bonus.

Why do you usually act so normal, but at times like this, you turn out to be the same vector of weirdness as your senpai?

"Maybe I shouldn't take her to the Lingle Kingdom..."

"What!"

"No, you can't."

"Eh ......"

For some reason, Keira looks disappointed.

Some people call us kidnappers, but it's no good if the lifeguards really do kidnap people.

"Keira. The Kingdom of Lingle is a nice place.

"Is that so ......!"

"There are all kinds of things for sale, from the unusual to the delicious, so you'll have a great time!"

"Wow. ......"

I don't think he will, but I'll have to stop him when Mr. Uluru tries to take Keira back to the Lingle Kingdom.

Keira, interested in the story of the Lingle Kingdom, now asks Mr. Uluru a question of her own.

"So how do you get into the lifeguard corps?"

"....... Usato-kun. Let's not recruit kids into the lifeguard corps, shall we?"

"You're too much of a liar. ......!!!"

Uluru-san, who has returned to her normal state of mind at once, advises me with a straight face.

Keira has a high aptitude for the rescue squad, but you wouldn't invite her to join the rescue squad without regard to her situation. .......

"No, Usato. She would not have asked you to join the lifeguard squad if she didn't think that you would be interested in her. ......"

"During the trip?　Is that true?　Mr. Usato?"

"Yes, that's true. ......"

"...... hmmm."

There were a lot of circumstances at the time of the knack.

I also thought he would be a good fit for me at the Rescue Mission.

I'm sure he's still training and helping at Olga's clinic.

"I'm going to go get Bulrin, since everyone should be here by now.

I'm sure Nack is doing his best, and I should do what I have to do.

With that in mind, I head for the stables to pick up Bulrin, who is probably there before Koga and the others arrive.

I was going to take Bulrin to the stables before Koger and the others arrived.

After packing our bags, we waited for a while and then Koga, Amako, Nair, Nagi, Hanna, and six other members of the team gathered.

I was a little relieved that Koga had arrived on time, even if the members of the group were not.

I had a lot of baggage to carry, since we might be exploring for a few weeks,

"Here they come!"

"Yeah. I'm glad you got up on time too."

"I had to get up early because of your bomb and Senri's radicalized attack. ......!!!"

It's your fault for not waking up.

I pass by the shivering Koga and check the members of the group again.

It's me, Koga, and six of my men.

Then Keira, Hannah, Amako, Nagi, and finally Bulrin.

"First of all, ...... Keira, may I have the magic?"

"Yes!"

A cloak made of black magic pops out from under Keira's feet and is placed over my shoulders.

With a somewhat familiar motion, she directs the edges of the cloak to deform as she throws the supplies on the ground inside the cloak.

"That's really convenient.

"I see Keira's magic has changed in the little time I've been away. ......"

Hearing the voices of Nair and Amako, he throws all his supplies into the cloak's interdimensional space, ignoring all the laws of mass and the like.

What is amazing about this is that the weight of the cloak does not change at all.

Like Ferrum, dark magic is truly a mysterious magic.

Usato!

"Hmm?　Yeah, come in."

The first preparations are completed when Keira jumps into the cloak, which is lightly spread out.

The rest of the luggage is to be carried by each of us.

"Kohga, we're done here, you take care of the rest."

"Oh."

Since the captain is Koger, I report to him and urge him to proceed.

With a cough, he stepped forward, looked around at his men, and opened his mouth.

"You guys are leaving today......... well......... yeah, haven't you forgotten anything?"

Without hesitation, I put a light blade to Koga's head.

"What the hell are you doing?

"You've got to be sharp!　You're an ex-corps leader!

I don't have a choice!　I couldn't think of anything to say!

I couldn't think of anything to say!

Coga was not very happy, but strangely enough, his men did not seem to have changed at all.

"No, I haven't been his subordinate for a long time.

"I was like this when I was a corps leader!"

"Unchanging."

For Elle and her colleagues, who were originally Coga's subordinates, it was something they had grown accustomed to.

You ...... have been such a chatterbox since you were a corps leader. .......

"This is more of what I'm going to ask Senri-sama to do for me."

"Geez. ......"

"Anyway, we're about to leave, so please grab your stuff."

On behalf of Coga, I would like to explain that each of you will carry the luggage that you have prepared.

This is almost the same as an expedition, so in addition to the supplies I will store in my cloak, each of you will be expected to carry your own luggage.

"Amaco will be on Bulrin's back."

"Yeah. See you soon, Burlyn."

"Guah!"

It is reassuring to have Bulrin protecting Amaco, who lacks mobility.

In addition, with Bulrin's sense of smell and Amako's precognition magic, we are sure that we will never be in an accident.

"As I told you the other day, we will move to the front of the demon's territory by the end of the day. Don't forget to hydrate yourself as you run.

"...... Yeah?　Uh, excuse me. Mr. Usato.

"Yes?　Ms. Hanna, what's wrong?

She tapped me on the shoulder, looking around as if something was bothering her.

"Let me ask you a question, of course you are traveling by horseback, right?　When you said earlier that we would be riding to our destination, you didn't mean to mishear me, did you?

No, that's not it.

"Oh, you must have misheard me. I didn't think you would run from here to there..."

"You only have to run until you enter the realm of the demons."

"....... Are you an idiot?

Hannah, whose voice was raised, was pressed by me.

She grabbed me by my bosom and brought my face close to hers, her eyes very desperate.

"I am an ordinary demon, unlike you!　Normal demons are!　They don't run 24/7 or run as fast as demons!

It's funny to say, but Hannah is a common demoness.

Her physical abilities are not as good as those of my well-trained subordinates.

Amako-chan is the same way.

"Oh, I'll have Bulrin carry me on his back, don't worry."

"Guh."

"Well, what about you, Nair?"

"I'm not going to run because I'm attached to Usato's shoulder."

Amako on the bullring and Nea hopping on my shoulder like an owl, Hannah pointed to herself in dismay at the sound of my voice.

"And me?　You want me to run too?

"If you want a ride to your destination, I'll be your candidate!　Don't worry!　I'm sturdy and I squeak a lot!

"Miss Elle. Please keep your mouth shut about that evil child educator next to you.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Mugugugu!"

You can never be too careful.

She looks sideways at Elle-san who is covering Veena-san's mouth, then looks at Hannah-san.

Of course, he is thinking about Hannah.

"Don't worry. I have a plan."

"...... Really?"

"Yes. ...... Keira, I'm going to change the shape of the cape."

>

He inflates the cloak and transforms the edges of the cloak into a chair-like shape.

He holds it out in front of Hannah and asks her to sit down.

"Please sit down."

"......"

She sits down in the transformed chair with a disgusted look on her face, and I move her behind me so that we are back to back, and then I enclose her with the roof and the walls.

A snail, I suppose, is an easier way to picture it.

"There we go.

"Which part?　None of this makes sense to me.

"Now you can move around while looking at the map, right?"

Yes, but...!　Yes, but ......!　I'm annoyed that it's so stable ......!"

I always run with a burin on my back, so the weight of the burin is nothing to me.

"There is another way, do you want to hear it?"

"In a manner of speaking..."

"I guess we can leave it to Koga's alter ego and have ...... Nagi carry it on her back."

"By the way, I was scared out of my wits when Kannagi was carrying me on his back."

"Oh, Amaco ......?"

Neither of them seemed to be in any danger, but Hannah, looking distressed, sighed in resignation.

"Huh, this is fine."

"I'm sorry. I thought it would be difficult to take the horse to ......."

"No, I understand. I don't want to be too selfish."

......At least we're all ready to go.

I check my men once more and turn back to Uluru.

"Well, Mr. Uluru. I'm off.

"Yes, see you later!　See you all later!

Uluru sees us off and we start running to get out of the city.

Running as fast as we can here would cause trouble for the people in the city, so we run lightly, and as we do so, we hear the voice of Hannah on our backs.

What is that?　Isn't this surprisingly easy?

"It's partly because I'm using the magic of tolerance, but her upper body doesn't shake at all, doesn't it?

I do it consciously, too.

When we leave the city, let's go as fast as we can to our destination.

We don't know what lies ahead until we enter the realm of demons, but we can be sure that ...... there will be something beyond our expectations.
